3. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants that:

3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and each such Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors’ Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by such Investor and the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.

3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

 

12


3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or

(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to an affiliated venture fund or a partner of such partnership, or to the estate of any such partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the prospective transferee agrees in all such instances in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.

3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

(a) “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”

(b) Any legend required by applicable state “blue sky” securities laws, rules and regulations.

3.9 Exculpation Among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and

 

13


directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Investor agrees that no Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Investor shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

4. Conditions of Investors’ Obligations at Closing.

6.1 Survival of Warranties. The warranties, representations and covenants of the Company and Investors contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investors or the Company; provided, however, that the warranties, representations and covenants of the Company set forth in Section 2.31 shall only survive until the earlier of (a) the three (3) year anniversary of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (b) immediately prior to the initial closing of the next round of equity financing of the Company following the issuance of the shares of Series A-1 contemplated by this Agreement with gross cash proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 at a per share price not less than the Series A-1 Purchase Price (such number as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or the like).

6.2 Indemnification; Put Right.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2, in consideration of each Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each permitted transferee of the Securities and all of their partners, members, officers, directors and employees and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Section 2.31 of this Agreement (a “Violation”). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Claims which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) Procedures for Indemnification. Promptly after an Indemnitee has knowledge of any Claim as to which such Indemnitee reasonably believes indemnity may be sought or promptly after such Indemnitee receives notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnitee shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any the Company under this Section 6.2, deliver to the Company a written notice of such Claim, and

 

16


the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expense of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. In the case of the Indemnitees, the legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the Securities to which the Claim relates. The Indemnitees shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitees which relates to such action or Claim. The Company shall keep the Indemnitees fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a full release from all liability in respect to such Claim and action and proceeding. After indemnification as provided for under this Agreement, the rights of the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitees with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company as provided in this Agreement shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitees under this Section 6.2, except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(c) Put Right. Subject to applicable law, in the event of any final, non-appealable adjudication that a Violation has occurred, each Investor shall have the right to sell to the Company the Securities equal to the number of shares each Investor originally purchased from the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Company shall be equal to the price per share paid by the Investor to the Company (such number as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or the like).

(ii) The Company shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by an Investor pursuant to this Section 6.2, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor, in cash or by other means acceptable to the Investor.

(d) Survival of and Limitation of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.2 shall survive the transfer of the Securities by the Indemnitees; provided, that such transfer is made to an existing investor in the Investor or an affiliated entity of the Investor. In addition, in no event shall the obligations of the Company to indemnify an Investor or permitted transferee exceed the aggregate amount of such Investor’s initial investment in the Company under this Agreement.

 

 

17

Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

The Company and the other parties hereto agree first to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to or affecting the subject matter of this Agreement.
